Who We Serve
We work with four types of US organizations that need scan data turned into accurate BIM models. There’s no better value for each of them.
Architecture Firms
- Accurate existing conditions before renovation or addition work begins — no guessing at field dimensions
- As-built Revit model integrated directly into your design workflow — no geometry rebuilding from scratch
- Clash detection between existing conditions and new design before CDs are issued
General Contractors
- As-built verification — confirm installed work matches design intent before the next trade moves in
- Progress scan documentation tied to schedule milestones for owner reporting and payment applications
- Clash certificates before costly construction changes — existing conditions vs new work identified early
MEP Firms
- Existing conditions MEP models for system coordination and retrofit design — accurate pipe, duct, and conduit routing
- MEP as-built documentation for facilities management and commissioning records
- Clash detection between existing MEP and proposed new systems before installation begins
Reality Capture Companies
- Reliable BIM modeling partner for your scan data — you capture, we model
- Consistent LOD and deliverable standards across every project you send us
- White-label delivery available — we work to your format, timeline, and quality standards
Our Scan to BIM Process
A straightforward six-step workflow from your first point cloud file to final model delivery.
Scan Intake
You send us your point cloud files in any format — RCP, RCS, E57, PTX, or direct from Matterport, NavVis, or your scanner platform.
Point Cloud Registration
We register and clean your scan data in ReCap or Leica Cyclone — removing noise, aligning scans, and confirming accuracy before modeling begins.
BIM Modeling
We build your Revit model to the agreed LOD — geometry, parametric families, metadata, and annotations structured for your downstream use.
Quality Control
Every model is QC'd against the original point cloud — dimensional accuracy verified to ±1/8". We include a deviation report with every as-built model.
Model Delivery
Delivered in RVT, NWD, IFC, or DWG — compatible with BIM 360, ACC, Procore, and Bluebeam for your project team.
Clash Detection (if required)
We run Navisworks clash detection against new design models and issue prioritized clash reports before construction begins.

Why BIM Heroes for Scan to BIM
A structured five-step process emphasizing technical accuracy and interdisciplinary coordination.
"Will the accuracy be good enough for construction?"
Every model is QC'd against the original point cloud — dimensional accuracy verified to ±1/8". We include a deviation report with every as-built model.
"Will the Revit files work in our BIM 360 / ACC environment?"
Yes. All models are delivered in native RVT, structured for BIM 360 and ACC workflows. We can set up worksharing and folder structure to match your CDE before the first file is delivered.
"Can you handle large or complex point clouds?"
We've processed 500+ scans including large commercial, industrial, and healthcare facilities with complex MEP systems. Files over 50GB are handled through our phased registration workflow.
"What if we need a faster turnaround than 5–7 days?"
Rush turnaround is available for most project types — contact us with your deadline and we'll confirm availability within a few hours.
What Our Clients Say
“We'd been burned before by offshore teams that looked good on paper but couldn't keep up with our pace. BIM Heroes was different from week one. They got our standards, matched our sheet organization, and flagged coordination issues before we even saw them. Three projects in, they're basically an extension of our in-house team at this point.”
“Honestly, I was skeptical about handing off CD production. But our project architect was drowning and we needed help fast. BIM Heroes turned around a full permit set in 10 days — clean, coordinated, no redlines from the city. I wish we'd found them two years ago.”
“Small firm here — just four of us. We simply can't afford to hire full-time drafters for
every production spike. BIM Heroes fills that gap perfectly. The pricing is fair, the turnaround is fast, and they don't require me to explain things twice. For anyone running a lean practice, this is the kind of support that actually makes a difference.”
“We brought BIM Heroes on for a multi-family project with a tight submittal deadline. Not only did they deliver on time, but the model quality was solid enough that our MEP consultants had zero clash complaints. That's not something we can always say about our own internal models. We're already on our second project with them.”
“Getting LOD 350 coordination right on a commercial job with five trades is brutal. BIM
Heroes took on the mechanical and electrical modelling and actually kept pace with our RFI cycle. No lag, no excuses. Their team understood the coordination workflow
— not just the software.”
“What I appreciate most is that they don't just execute — they think. When something
in the drawings didn't add up structurally, they caught it and brought it to our attention before it became a problem in the field. That kind of proactive communication is rare, especially from a production partner.”
“We used BIM Heroes for as-built documentation on a retail fit-out we'd just wrapped. They worked off our field markups and photos and had a clean Revit model back to us in under two weeks. Accurate, well-organized, easy to hand off to the owner. Will use them again without question.”
“We build production homes — speed and consistency matter above everything else. BIM Heroes helped us set up master Revit templates for our plan library, and now our design changes propagate cleanly across all units. It's saved us easily 20 hours per plan release. That's real money.”
“Our drafting team was backed up three months on permit drawings. BIM Heroes came in, learned our standards fast, and cleared the backlog in six weeks without us having to babysit the work. Quality was consistent start to finish. Exactly what we
needed.”
“Converting point cloud data into a usable Revit model is tedious work. We'd been doing it in-house, but it was pulling our licensed staff off higher-value tasks. BIM Heroes handles the scan-to-BIM conversion now and the accuracy is consistently within our tolerance requirements. Turnaround is fast and communication is clear.”
“We scan the buildings — BIM Heroes turns them into deliverable models. It's a clean handoff and the output quality is something we're comfortable putting our name on. They understand the source data and don't need hand-holding on the modelling side.”
“Design-build moves fast and we can't afford rework. BIM Heroes keeps up with our pace, handles the documentation heavy lifting, and stays flexible when scope shifts
mid-project — which it always does. They've become a reliable part of how we
deliver.”
